A death that grieves no stranger <br />Is witless as a mouth <br />That deaf eyes do not fathom <br />Mute singleness of route <br />As pines a troubled forest <br />For signs of seeded quarry <br />We herald the dumbest signpost <br />To break the travelers story <br /> <br />A death that grieves no stranger <br />Concern that has no pivot <br />Sails as the ship of ancients <br />No sextant and no rivet <br />Clairvoyant the earth is <br />Of disappearing traces <br />To cast about the crowd is <br />To see the missing faces.<br /><br />Patti Masterman<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/a-death-that-grieves-no-stranger/
